Glossary of terms

Control Module: The “brain” of your system. Usually hidden under-

neath the dash area of the vehicle. It houses the microprocessor which

monitors your vehicle and controls all of the alarm’s functions.

Failsafe

Starter Kill (if equipped): An automatic switch controlled by

the security system which prevents the vehicle’s starter from cranking

whenever the system is armed. The vehicle is never prevented from

cranking when the system is disarmed, in Valet

Mode, or should the

starter kill switch itself fail. Your system is ready for this feature, how-

ever installation of this feature may require additional labor.

Input: Any physical connection to the security system. An input can be

provided through a sensor, pinswitch or by existing systems in the vehi-

cle, such as ignition or courtesy lights.

LED: The LED indicates the status of your system. It is also used to

report triggers and faults in the system or sensors.

Valet

Switch: A small push-button switch mounted somewhere in

the vehicle. The switch is used to override the alarm when a transmit-

ter is lost or damaged, or to put it into Valet

Mode.

Warn Away

Response: The Warn Away

Response will work if a dual

zone microwave was installed and the sensor is capable of detecting it.

Zone: A zone is a separate input that the alarm can recognize as

unique. Each input to the system is connected to a particular zone.

Often, two or more inputs may share the same zone.
